IS ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED? Part2

John 6:37-40 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.(KJV)

In John 3:18 Jesus said, “He that believeth on him (JESUS) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

The greek transliteration of the word condemned in the above verse is Kreeno it means separated, put asunder. This separation is death (absence of eternal life/everlasting life).

So if we were to read that verse in the original statement of Christ, it would be , “He that believeth on him (JESUS) is not condemned (has life/is joined with God): but he that believeth not is condemned (separated from God and therefore dead because he/she has no eternal life) already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Having eternal life is really what it means to be saved!

Don’t get it twisted.

And we are saved/receive eternal life when the follow the principle in Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (KJV)

BUT IS IT SCRIPTURAL TO SAY SINCE SALVATION IS ETERNAL, ONE IS FOREVER SAVED EVEN IF HE CHOOSES TO WALK IN SIN?

The following verses gives us God’s perspective on that

1 John 3:9 (NIV)

No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.

Hebrews 10:26 (NIV)

If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hold on one bit.

Wear your glasses

let’s look at the SENTENCE… THE LORD WILL JUDGE (greek Kreeno which means to separate, put assunder) HIS PEOPLE.

HUH?

Someone please give me apple juice!

Isn’t it this word kreeno (put assunder), the same word Jesus used in In John 3:18?

“He that believeth on him (JESUS) is not condemned (Kreeno- put assunder): but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Let me say it plain English, perhaps you read it Swahili

Anyone that does not believe in Jesus is Kreeno (separated from God). He that believes and deliberately continues to sin, the Lord shall kreeno (separate, put asunder).

Do you also remember that to be put asunder is to be dead from God aka not having eternal life?

(Clears my throat)

Take a look at these verses

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but hethat endureth to the end shall be saved.Mathew 10:22 What happens if you drop half way? You shall no longer be saved! And if salvation means having eternal life. Does someone who is no longer saved still having eternal life?

But Jesus told him, "Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fitfor the Kingdom of God." Luke 9:62 (NLT)

If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. John 15:6 (NIV)

Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. Revelation 22:14

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Ephesians 5:27 (KJV)

We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. Hebrews 3:14 (NIV)

I consider it a
huge privilege to be God’s mouthpiece on earth. I pretty much like that I have
to learn from Him and the capable others he has planted in my life while
passing on this knowledge to others as He wills. Being His
mouthpiece means I have to travel, meet people, and go to places are like or
not like (yes sometimes you don’t feel like being somewhere). This exposes me to a whole lot of information
and helps me build valuable relationships. I’ve been a guest
minister to many in the last twelve (12) years of my life. Pretty much since I was
a teenager. I’ll like to share with you a few things I believe young people
should never do when they are out as guest ministers. 1.Don’t Isolate yourself from responsibilities There
are times when the host might place you in their home or someone else’s rather
than a hotel. Most young people tend to cross their legs and wait for breakfast
in bed like the anointing would lift if they picked up a pin. When
you’re placed in a home rather tha…

“If
this life has anything to gain at all, I’ll count it lost if I can’t hear you
feel you, cause I need you…” rang my amazing ringtone by Lecrae. I
picked up the sleek darling to see who misses me. It was this pretty friend of
mine. Ada
(Not real name) and I met at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in our first
year. We had a lot in common and she was just my type (whatever that means)
LOL. Anyway, I was (and still am) literally and figuratively in love
with God and I noticed her heart was committed to God and His standards too. Well,
we graduated four years later and you know how life happens. We haven’t really
kept in touch for a while. I heard sometime back that she was engaged and I
called to say congratulations. We talked about how life had been
since after school and how we both are still fervently loving and serving the
Lord. She said her wedding was three months away and I told her I definitely
needed the aso-ebi (A uniform material sold to people who wish to attend an
event). T…
